New description:

 Initially this was found with the SVN 1.5 series but also occurs in the
 1.4 rc branch. The discussion about the SVN issues is:
 [http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-
 discussion/2009-December/047481.html]

 From the test, the following should reproduce the crash:
 import numpy as np

 from numpy.compat import asbytes, getexception
 np.fromstring(asbytes('1 , 2 , 3 , 4'),sep=',')

Comment(by charris):

 For example


 {{{
 np.fromstring(asbytes('aa, aa, 1.0'), sep=',')
 }}}


 causes a segmentation fault in python 3.1.
